Build and Run

Quickscope requires the Poetry dependency and environment management system as well as Python 3.8. If you don’t have Poetry installed run:

pip install poetry

If you don’t have Python 3.8 we’d suggest using the pyenv management system to install it:

pyenv install 3.8.2

Once you have those, you can install Quickscope:

git clone https://github.com/UQTools/quickscope
cd quickscope
poetry shell
poetry install
poetry run build

When the generation of the front end is complete you can run the Quickscope server:

poetry run flask run

You should now be able to access the service through your browser at 0.0.0.0:5000.

Documentation

Documentation for the project is available at quickscope.readthedocs.org. This includes guides on how to use the tool and adapt it to your needs.
